No more Mister Nice Guy

C C7/Bb       F    A
I love the dead

D        Dmaj7/C#     Gm   Gm7/F
I've been thinking about it

           C     C7/Bb      F    A
Now I understand what he said


CHORUS:

D5   C/D F   C
Ask me now I

D5    C/E        F          C     D
understand the words that Alice said

  C/D       F       C
I kick the rocks beneath me

No one knows these things but me and him

       C                  C7/Bb               F        A
so I'm writing everything down in a spiral notebook

D      Dmaj7/C#           Gm        Gm7/F
in the hopes that some day other people

     C       C7/Bb     F    A
will feel as low as this

(repeat Chorus)

Ddim      Fdim     Edim    Gdim 
I've been thinking about it

Now I understand what he said

Why must I be sad?
